The egcs maintainers are working with some of the pgcc people to get
things merged; it's been slower going than expected though.  The current
status is that pgcc is egcs plus diffs.  I hope that those diffs will
eventually approach zero.  Even the pgcc people will tell you that the way
some things were done isn't the best way.

These splits preceded egcs (there was pgcc, there are the Cygnus releases
to their customers, as well as a couple of others).  One of the initial
egcs goals was to reduce the number of forks.
